Lexer was confused by the woman in front of him for a moment, and it took him a while to wake up.
He hesitated and glanced at Zheng Xiyao, and finally said, "I don't understand the love affairs of you young people. You might as well drink and dance to be happy and comfortable."
Zheng Xiyao didn't argue, just chuckled and said: "That's right, it's better to drink and dance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man next to him lit a cigarette without caring, and said slowly: "To be honest, if you don't like it, you can leave. Why bother yourself for things outside of you."
She was stunned, and then realized that Lexer had completely misunderstood that she had to stick to Hawke for money and power.
The corners of Zheng Xiyao's mouth raised, her purple eyes flashed slightly, Lexer didn't notice the woman's mischievous smile, "I thought I was loved." The girl smiled with tears, "I just said, I am not as beautiful and gentle as Freya." , does he have a powerful family background? How could he have someone like me if I am so ordinary?"
Lexer was at a loss and almost dropped the tobacco leaf in his mouth, "Well, that's not what I meant. In fact, I just said that you can love yourself more and find someone who loves you..."
"It's okay, there's no need to comfort me. I know I'm not worthy." Zheng Xiyao covered her face and kept shaking her shoulders as she spoke.
"Hey, um, actually, you're okay..." The chef brother was still thinking about how to comfort him.
"Hahahaha." Zheng Xiyao couldn't help laughing. Lexer looked at Nvre who was wiping her tears and laughing in shock, knowing that she had just been fooled.
"you!"
"Lexor, thank you. You're a good man."
"A good person? A good person to be bullied by you." Lexer was not angry and took a puff of cigarette.
Zheng Xiyao was in a much happier mood, and the suffocating depression in her heart suddenly disappeared.
Lexer actually wasn't too angry. After all, he was an outsider and couldn't talk much about other people's emotional affairs. What's even worse is that his relationship with Zheng Xiyao was originally colleagues. This avoids embarrassment.
"Just kidding, Brother Lexer wouldn't be so stingy, would he?"
At this moment, a "bah" sound suddenly came from the flower garden behind him.
Zheng Xiyao thought it was a small animal.
Just when she was about to speak, when she raised her gaze, she unexpectedly looked into a pair of deep, dark eyes.
Hawke's whole body exuded a cold aura, and he stood there without any expression, not knowing how much he had listened.
Lexer followed Zheng Xiyao's gaze and saw Hawke. He stepped away, pinched off the cigarette in his hand, and saluted respectfully.
Hawke walked towards them calmly. Zheng Xiyao didn't know what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.
Upon seeing this, Lexer immediately found a reason to leave this place of right and wrong.
. The breeze blew, and the fragrance of the garden hit their faces. It was rare for the two of them to stay together so quietly. After coming here for a long time, the man spoke first: "You're fine."
Zheng Xiyao: "...I know."
"Um."
Zheng Xiyao looked at the male protagonist who was once her first love, her eyes flickered, and her mood was still a bit complicated. Finally, Zheng Xiyao couldn't help but said: "That, Hawke."
Hawke looked at Zheng Xiyao.
Against Hawke's gaze, Zheng Xiyao continued to speak bravely: "We're not really getting married, are we?"
"Um."
Although she already knew it, Zheng Xiyao's heart tightened when she heard Hawke admit it personally.
She paused for a long time, and then said: "If someone who betrayed you really assassinated you that day, did you arrange the corresponding manpower?"
Zheng Xiyao said while observing Hawke's expression.
Hawke had no expression, and even his eyes did not change. But looking into his eyes, Zheng Xiyao felt a sudden chill running down her spine.
Hawke said: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Zheng Xiyao: "...It's nothing. I just want to know the specific arrangements for that day. After all, I am also a party involved."
"Really?" Hawke stared at Zheng Xiyao, his dark pupils glowing coldly.
"yes."
"If you are worried about this, then I can tell you that security is personally handled by my personal guards."
Zheng Xiyao was relieved, after all, the male protagonist's bodyguards could defeat a hundred. But there was another thing that she was worried about.
"Well, have you told Freya that we are getting married?"
Hawke frowned: "Why should you tell her?"
Zheng Xiyao's expression changed slightly: "But, isn't she the one you like?"
"No, it's you I like." Hawke replied decisively.
"You...you like me?"
"Um."
Sure enough, it was just as she had guessed, so this must be the main personality of the male protagonist now. Only the main character will have a past friendship with her.
Zheng Xiyao was relieved, but her heart froze when she saw the man's cold eyes. He asked coldly: "What?"
"What happened to Freya?"
The man was silent, looking at her with probing eyes: "Are you unhappy that I like her?"
"No, I'm not unhappy." Zheng Xiyao subconsciously retorted. Hey, the point is, is she unhappy? Shouldn't it be how he fell in love with two people at the same time?
Zheng Xiyao peeked at the male protagonist. Two years was not short, and the male protagonist was indeed better and more mature than before.
"what's on your mind?"
"Why did you suddenly become a scumbag?" the male protagonist suddenly asked, and Zheng Xiyao subconsciously blurted out
Hawke:…
Zheng Xiyao took a step back in panic and waved her hands: "I'm not, that, just talking nonsense."
"Oh, it turns out that this is the image I have in your mind."
Zheng Xiyao shook her head, but was unable to defend herself. It's all my fault for being outspoken.
"Is this why you don't want me to reveal that the bride is you?"
"No." Zheng Xiyao replied after regaining her senses.
The man looked down at her, his eyes persistently asking for an answer.
Zheng Xiyao thought for a while and replied: "I still want to live a few more days."
"What's the meaning?"
"Someone must know about those things back then. Just Mrs. Lanchester." Zheng Xiyao laughed at herself: "I still can't remember who she is, but you see, because of my choice to leave you, she was... No stranger will let me go, let alone those important officials and subordinates who regard you as a god."
"I will protect you."
"no, you can not."
"You don't believe me?" Hawke looked dark.
Zheng Xiyao rubbed her temples tiredly. She was not suitable for arguing because she had experienced this before and hated this kind of scene, so she turned around and wanted to escape from here.
Hawke grabbed the woman who was leaving: "You chose to betray me in the first place, and now you still want to leave?"
Facing the man's question, Zheng Xiyao turned around helplessly and took out her hand: "Look, you blame me for betraying you, and I blame myself for my original choice. But you and I can't change this established fact." She paused for a moment. Continued: "And now, what you want is fundamentally different from what I want. We have different desires and unequal needs, so why bother consuming each other and entangled with each other!"
